POSITIVE STOPS ON MITER TABLE

Positive stops have been provided at 0°, 15°, 22-1/2 °,

31.62°, and 45 ° on both the left and right side of the miter table.

BEVEL LOCK KNOB

The bevel lock knob securely locks your compound miter saw at desired bevel angles. Positive stop adjustment screws have been provided on each side of the saw arm. These adjustment screws are for making fine adjustments at 0° and 45 °. See pages 18 and 19.

ELECTRIC BRAKE

An electric brake has been provided to quickly stop blade rotation after the switch is released.

FENCE

The fence on your compound miter saw has been provided to hold your workpiece securely against when making all cuts.

SELF-RETRACTINGLOWER BLADE

GUARD

The lower blade guard is made of shock-resistant, see-through plastic that provides protection from each side of the blade. It retracts over the upper blade guard as the saw is lowered into the workpiece.

MOUNTING HOLES

See Figure 7.

Your compound miter saw should be permanently mounted to a firm supporting surface such as work- bench. Four 1/2 in. bolt holes have been provided in the saw base for this purpose. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using 7/16 in. machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench.

Tighten all four bolts securely.

The hole pattern for an 20 in. x 30 in. workbench is shown in Figure 7. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor before operating.

WARNING: Always make sure your compound miter saw is securely mounted to a workbench or

an approved work stand. Failure to do so could result in an accident resulting in possible serious personal injury.

Next to the bolt holes, four nail holes have been provided in the saw base for temporarily mounting your compound miter saw. Use 4 nails about 2-1/2 in. long to secure your saw temporarily.

Note: Make sure the surface where you are mounting your saw, is thick enough to accommodate the nails being used.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your saw has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts,

60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

A WARNING: The operation of any saw can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before starting power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend wide vision safety mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.

A WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use

with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous

condition leading to possible serious personal injury.
